Has anyone ever heard of southern painted hatchlings being aggressive toward one another. I have three of them and one is a little bigger than the other two. I walked into their room today about five minutes after I put some food in their tank and the bigger one had a hold of one of the little ones legs. I scared it off and figured that maybe he accidentally bit on while snapping for food. Then he swam right over to the other little one and snapped on to his foot. I always seen painted turtles in general are pretty social especially at that size (2-2", 1-3 1/2".) I already moved the terrible turtle to his own tank but anybody here know why it would do that? thanks
